The Masked Tityra

The attractive masked tityra (Tityra semifasciata) is a medium-sized passerine bird. It has traditionally been placed in the cotinga or the tyrant flycatcher family, but evidence strongly suggests that it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where now placed by SACC. The bird can be found in forest and woodland from Mexico, through Central America, to northwestern and central South America.
